Petitions

A petition is a request for an exception to a standard policy. There are a number of different petition types, each of which has its own specific requirements for submission. These requirements are explained in the instructions that accompany each petition form, found via the links below. In general, petitions:

require a $20 filing fee when submitting the petition (some petition types, if approved, may require an additional administrative fee to be paid by the student before the record can be adjusted)

have no guarantee of approval - in all cases, each petition is reviewed by an appropriate campus authority and can either be granted or denied

can take up to 6 months for the review process to be completed (every effort is made to expedite petitions submitted by current candidates for graduation)

result in written notification to the student of the petition decision
